I'd Give It All For You

I fell in love with Jason Robert Brown upon listening to Songs for New World and that love became passion upon hearing the show Parade.  One of my favorite songs was Stars & Moon, but that has become such a staple of cabaret singing, that I've had to switch.  I always have a thing about liking something that few people know about; then when they know about it, it seems like you're just part of the crowd and not the true sophisticate you know you are.  One of the truly best songs he wrote from Songs for a New World, is I'd Give It All For You.  The beginning is dedicated to my friend G. this week:

I had a house while you were gone
The week after you left me
I found a couple acres
Near Sarilla Park
I had a house while you were gone
A house with silver shutters
And a driveway laid in marble
And thousands of rooms to fill
And miles of space to fly

After that it devolves away from G.'s life.  I love this line though with all my heart:

Nothing about us was perfect or clear
But when paradise calls me
I'd rather be here
There's something between us
That nobody else needs to see

So I've always felt that was so true in relationships.
